About this Practice
Yoga Nidra is a practice and journey of deep rest, intuition and connection. Also called “the yogic sleep” it is a highly regenerative meditation practice proven to improve sleep, stress management and creativity. Initially taught by the Indian rishis and rishikas (the seers), it was a technique promising to take students into deep states of meditation (“samadhi”) faster than others. Today Yoga Nidra or “Non Sleep Deep Rest (NDSR)” is endorsed by science for its beneficial impact on our mental and physical health… (e.g., see here, or listen to Huberman rave about it, or Tracee Stanley explain the science and benefits)
In our modern society many of us are accustomed to doing more to get more. This practice is not about doing more, it is about doing less. It's about releasing the struggling and striving to get somewhere. It is the art and practice of doing nothing to arrive exactly where you want to be.
How it works
Yoga Nidra is practiced lying down comfortably on your back. You can practice it any time of the day - some use it before bed to fall asleep, some during the day to recharge or in the morning to start the day with deep anchoring within yourself. Yoga Nidra combines a series of breath, body and awareness techniques designed to help you move into progressive states of relaxation. It draws on the stages our brain goes through as we fall asleep - something our body knows how to do. This is why deep states of meditation are possible with this technique without much experience.
My own story
As someone who struggles with falling asleep under stress, Yoga Nidra drew me to it because of the promise that “1 hour of yoga nidra is like 3-4 hours of sleep”*. I was sold. What I found was much more than “just sleep”.
For me yoga nidra takes me to deep states of relaxation and meditation unlike other techniques. From the get go, I wasn’t only able to relax, I also received answers to questions I was asking myself or challenges I was experiencing (e.g., through visions during the practice). I practice Yoga Nidra weekly - sometimes daily (even multiple times). When I had a bad night, a yoga nidra afternoon practice grounds me. When I feel disconnected from myself and feel challenged by life, I find and feel myself again thanks to the practice. For me, Yoga Nidra has changed my life and continues to do so. I am studying with different schools and teachers to dive deeper into its wisdom.
The Nidras I share are designed as true journeys - we use the breath to arrive and anchor our nervous system in balance, and then progressively relax the body and the mind. As we dive deeper, we open the space for intuition to emerge by placing questions into the meditative state. All of this with a custom playlist (optional) to deepen your experience. I am always deeply humbled by the groups that come to practice together and learn something new about myself and my path in every single session.
May the peace and love we cultivate in this practice ripple out into our lives and into the lives of those we touch.
*Science can’t directly prove that - yet what is proven is that the sleep you have during the night gets more regenerative, and you can access the highly regenerative Delta brainwave state even in shorter sessions (which supports brain and physical health)
